Are you kidding?! I lost count of the try-saving tackles Briscoe made last night, and you're judging him on one knock on where the replays showed there was a huddersfield hand on the ball?!

He made a few. He also made a few mistakes, at least one of which lead to a try. No big deal - that happens.

Briscoe is a very good FB. Just not as good as some people make out. Still probably the 2nd best British FB though.

Yes, it's quite surprising that isn't it?

Does he? A run out in an experimental England side doesn't necessarily indicate that at all.

True, and to be fair whilst it's nice if your club's players can gain rep honours, I'm more concerned with what he does for Rovers - and looking at the campaign so far, he's been excellent.

Would it have been so experimental if he had included a Hull player

They are currently the best side in SL and they have a great recent history.
Not arrogance just FACT can't believe im defending saints

Wigan fans, Hull FC and Bradford are arrogant because they have won nowt yet act the same as when they were winning stuff and high up in the league.

Can be good without being arrogant though. Dobson would be good enough for any SL side. Although can only applaud Saints fans wanting to trust Eastmond, that doesn't mean they should rubbish other players.
